ASR 9006 to 6509 1 gig fiber connection

I have an ASR 9006 with a SFP-GE-L connecting to a Cisco 6500.  The link shows up on the ASR side but not on the 6500 side.  If I move the SFP from the ASR to a
different 6500 chassis the connection works so I know the SFP is working.  

Any ideas on making this link work?
